It’s official–October, baby! Life continues at its slow-fast pace. Life can be looked at in different ways. It can turn into a waiting game. It can turn into a list of things to do. It can turn into a dream. It can turn into a telescope into the future. It can be an adventure. It canContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: September 2014”

Falling
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was walking through the village, and I saw a little brown leaf falling in front of me (I looked up and smiled). This year, I have promised myself that I will go to a park and enjoy the leaves when they are in all of their fall glory. My timing is always wrong. I go beforeContinue reading “Falling”
How to Deal
By: Gabriela Yareliz I remember one particular afternoon, where I was sitting in my high school adviser’s office. My high school adviser was and is a friend; someone I would talk to about concerns and life in general– not just school stuff. I was sitting back in a chair chewing on a candy from his glass jar and complainingContinue reading “How to Deal”
Today’s Dose of Inspiration: Sept. 3, 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz Woke up at the crack of dawn; I had to drink three cups of water to get one horse-pill multi-vitamin down; today will be a long day filled with classes– the struggle is real.

This Month’s Picks: August 2014

August is one of those get-up-to-speed months. A month of warmth and cooling temperatures. One of the last green months. A month of deadlines. A monthContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: August 2014”
What I miss about the World Cup
By: Gabriela Yareliz Despite my excitement about autumn, I am still clinging to the last shreds of summer and sunshine in the city. Apparently, so are other Villagers, seeing that yesterday at a crosswalk, I saw half of the Forever21 summer catalog march past me. Soon, the days of long skirts with tribal prints and stripsContinue reading “What I miss about the World Cup”

La mejor actriz de su generacion en su pais. 4]Continue reading “Españolas Favoritas”
Autumn Fever
Soundtrack for this post: Ben Rector–Yes, let’s bring this back. By: Gabriela Yareliz Last year, I really fell in love with autumn. Spring is fabulous; there is always something wonderful about getting some warmth and relief from a brutal winter (looking at you, winter of 2014), but autumn was beautiful. Maybe, I am turning intoContinue reading “Autumn Fever”
